Yesterday a convention of delegates elected my the Dcrhocratio citizens of each ol' the eU o tion divisions in the several Wards of the city f Philadelphia, assembled at National Guards' Hall, Race street, below Sixth, to revise the rules lor ttoe government of the Democratic party. . The meeting was called to order by the nomination of Richardson L. Wright at Prcsl , dent, which was unanimously , confirmed. Mcsrs: John K. Zellln, John Robbing, Jr., and TV K. . OaMKill were elected Secretaries. Mr, Joseph MehafTy was appointed Troisurer. Messrs. Edward A. Tress and Patrick Donahue were appointed Messenger and Doorkeeper respectively. . j . . The convention wa3 quite full, every precinct in the city being represented. .. , , The foliowiui; nomination were made for permanent President: Kicbardson L. Wright and George A. Qnlgley. . ' Mr. Wright having received 110 votes to Mr. Quipley's 51, whs declared elected.. Mr. Wright briefly thanked tne delegates for the honor conferred upon film. lie was glad to be able to assert that a brighter day was dawn ing for the Democratic party. He knew that all the gentlemen present were here tor the pure object of perpetuating and strengthening the Democratic party. They wera here without any ulterior object, simply lor amending the rule governing the Democratic party, and he felt sure harmony would attend their deliberations. Messrs. William Lougblin and Richard Ludlow were unanimously elected Vice-Presidents. The temporary . secretaries, . treasurer, and; door . keepers were appointed permanent otlicers. Mr. A. J. Lechler moved to amend role 1 so that the elections ol Judges and inspectors of elections should occur on the first Monday in . (September instead of the second Monday in August. He stated that the August convention would remain in session eight or ten days, and all action should be deferred uutil their ai)our ment. Mr. Quieley favored the substitution of the fourth Monday in Auecust, as otherwise Butli cient time would not be allowed the candidates to organize tor the political campaign. He was not In favor of making arrangements with gen tlemen who did not call themselves Democrats. He would not allow outside parties to break up their good old-time oiganization. Sooner than that, he would welcome defeat for the safety of the Democratic party. He did not see the use ot adjourning action in order to see what action a national convention would take. The Demo cratic party hold the reins et power in their hands, and they should keep them. i ,' Hon. John James declared that when bad men conspire together against the right, good men should unite. When the Kelleys, the Forneys, and the O'Neills hang together, all true oppo ' nents of them should fight them with all the weapons they could obtain. Dr. Sites stated that there were several move ments on foot which required time to perfect them. They were movements entirely within the Democratic party.and time only was required to enable all the movements to be carried out that the Democratic party should hold the power. When the Johnson men were heard, It would be found that they had the same purposes as the Democratic party. He knew no reason why the party should throw cold water on a movement which would greatly intensity the strength of the Democratic party. When the movement was peitected, all would be ready for a quick campaign. He favored the original amendment, In order to obtain the neoded time. ; The amendment to name the fourth Monday in August was voted down, and the first Monday in September was agreed to as the date of divi sion elections. . . .

Before Recorder Enou, yesterday, a hearing was had m the case of Aaron 8. Blackman, Captain of the schooner Uaniel J.
